E-COMMERCE & RETAIL

AI that sells,
not just suggests.

In retail, AI earns its keep in conversion, basket size, and margin. We build personalisation, semantic search, and demand forecasting that lift revenue per visitor and take cost out of fulfilment and support, measured against your numbers, not a benchmark.

[ 01 ] USE CASES

Six ways we deploy AI in e-commerce.

From semantic search to demand forecasting every engagement is scoped around your catalogue, your data, and the revenue levers that matter most.

01

Semantic Product Search

Vector search over your catalogue. Customers find what they mean, not just what they typed. Handles synonyms, misspellings, and intent.

02

Personalisation Engine

Real-time product recommendations based on browsing, purchase history, and contextual signals. Not collaborative filtering from 2012.

03

AI Customer Service

LLM-powered support agents trained on your FAQs, policies, and product data. Handle returns, tracking, and product questions without a human.

04

Demand & Inventory Forecasting

ML models that predict sell-through rates, seasonal demand, and stockout risk. Reduce overstock and lost sales simultaneously.

05

Dynamic Pricing

Pricing models that respond to competitor prices, demand signals, and inventory levels in real time. With guardrails to protect margin floors.

06

Review & Sentiment Intelligence

NLP pipelines over product reviews and support tickets. Surface quality issues, competitive intelligence, and NPS drivers automatically.

[ 02 ] WHAT MAKES E-COMMERCE AI HARD

Four challenges we solve first.

Catalogue scale breaks rule-based systems

Thousands of SKUs, attributes, and categories require ML, not if-else logic. We build for catalogue scale from day one not as a retrofit.

Relevance is not recall

Returning 1,000 results is not helpful. AI search needs to understand intent and rank by business value, not just keyword match.

Personalisation without creepiness

Users want relevant suggestions, not surveillance. We design personalisation with privacy-first data practices built into the architecture.

Cold-start for new products

New SKUs have no history. Content-based embeddings and category priors handle cold-start without waiting for data to accumulate.

[ 03 ] COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you brief us.

How quickly can you improve our search relevance?

A semantic search upgrade typically takes 4–6 weeks: data audit, embedding model selection, index build, and A/B test setup. Most clients see measurable conversion improvement within the first test cycle.

Can you integrate with our existing e-commerce platform?

Yes. We've built AI layers on top of Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and custom platforms. We expose AI features via API so your storefront doesn't need a full rebuild.

How do you handle a catalogue of 100k+ SKUs?

At that scale we typically use a two-stage retrieval pipeline: fast approximate nearest-neighbour search to retrieve candidates, followed by a reranking model that applies business rules and personalisation signals.

What does an AI customer service agent actually handle?

Order status, returns and refunds, product questions, and policy lookups the queries that make up 70–80% of ticket volume for most retailers. Escalations route to human agents with full context.
